About this episode

Ronni hikes Slieve Binnian with Lizzy Noone, exploring themes of art, activism, and storytelling amidst the beauty of the Mourne Mountains.

Back in the beautiful Mourne Mountains of County Down, I was lucky enough to hike up Slieve Binnian with the fantastic Lizzy Noone. Or at least I think it was Binnian. With the horizontal rain and mist it was difficult to tell. Lizzy is a forever curious clumsy flawed left-handed human being who loves art, theatre, music, people and life. She is a long time global citizenship educator (currently working for IDEA), activist and is on a quest to find a fairer political and economic system for all 8.5 billion people in the world. She loves swimming in any outdoor water, hiking and camping (a part time scout leader too). She is one of the founding members of Pleasure Activism Ireland which brings all of these things together! Be in touch with Ronni with all your ideas and to invite him to perform. All that ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Thank you to all our supporters as well as to the amazing band Bukahara for their permission to use their fabulous, on point song '⁠⁠Storytelling Animal⁠⁠' as our soundtrack. The World is Storytelling podcast is based on the book by the same name. Written by Arjen Barel, Ronni Gurwicz, and Stu Packer, it is the definitive guide to how sharing stories…
